then on what basis did you make the assertion?

i am slightly suspicious of this. often, root servers are accompanied
by gtld servers, and there are more than zero root servers in india.
there is a fashion among root and gtld servers to attempt to limit the
scope of their ancast routing announcements. this makes them hard to
find from a (topologic) distance.
